How mezzanine started their logo design journey

Summary

We need a simple logo that we would use across everything! - business cards, stationery, website, invoices, etc.

We'd like it to fit (be easy to integrate with) our name "Mezzanine Consulting LLC" as well as stand on its own.

If you think about the name, the story we'd like to tell is that WE are what helps you take your business to the next level. We focus on building strong brands and every aspect of that within a company. We are very customer focused and goal-oriented. We would like the benefits we deliver to our clients to be considered solid and tangible, versus some of the competition which tends to feel a bit esoteric.

The work we do is also a mix of science and art so we definitely don't want to go too industrial with the logo. Simple and strong is what we're seeking. But would love to see how folks get a bit of the creativity/art side worked into the logo.

If I think of the attributes we'd use to describe ourselves:

- fun to work with
- nimble, somewhat organic feel Some specifics to keep in mind:
- Prefer one-color logo (no orange, leaning towards a maroon/burgundy-ish color, but very open to other colors)
- Would like to see our name incorporated, so open to different fonts. Offical name is "Mezzanine Consulting LLC"Attributes of the logo
- Simple in nature
- Single color
- Strong, yet not industrial
- Organic and creative, but not whimsicalThat's about it. Looking forward to seeing some great work! And just so you know, I have lots of clients looking for logo and other creative services, so I'd be happy to pass on referrals and provide references for good work.
